This review is from: Pentair LX5000G Kreepy Krauly Legend II Pressure Pool Cleaner, Black/White (Lawn & Patio)

What a great pool sweep. I asked my pool maintenance man for a recommendation, and he did not hesitate: The Kreepy Krauly Legend was the only pool sweep he would recommend. I've used the Polaris (it always seemed to be broken) and the Phantom (it never worked right). The Legend puts those sweeps to shame. It completely cleans my mid-sized, built-in pool in about two hours. It also has a scrub brush on the end of the tail that actually cleans the algae as the sweep moves through the pool. How cool is that?

With other sweeps (the Phantom in particular) I always had trouble getting the unit out of the pool without a significant portion of the leaves and dirt falling back into the pool. Very frustrating! This doesn't happen with the Legend. Once the leaves get into the debris bag, they stay in the debris bag.

If you are replacing a pool sweep, I highly recommend the Legend. If you are buying your first sweep, please note that the Legend (and most other sweeps) requires its own booster pump, which can be quite expensive to install (I think our booster pump cost about $1,000 for parts and labor). Pentair does make a sweep (the Legend II) that runs off the pool's primary circulating pump; i.e., the sweep does not require a dedicated pump. I have not used the Legend II, but if you don't have a booster pump already installed, you might be wise to see if the Legend II is right for you.

Plus there is a $100 manufacture's mail-in rebate that runs until August 2011. I couldn't be happier.
